It can take up to two minutes for changes to appear on your live site after the publishing process has finished.

Another reason that a published page might appear to not be updating is that your browser is caching the older version. You can resolve this issue by opening your site in a private or incognito.

To open a private or incognito window:

• Safari - command⌘+shift+n(Mac)/control+shift+n(PC)
• Google Chrome - command⌘+shift+n(Mac)/control+shift+n(PC)
• Mozilla Firefox-command⌘+shift+p(Mac)/control+shift+p(PC)
• Opera-command⌘+shift+n(Mac)/control+shift+n(PC)

Examples of private browsers:

Chrome

Safari

Firefox

Opera

In the URL (address bar) replace 'www' with staging. Example: https://www.umt.edu/ becomes http://staging.umt.edu/.

However, if your site is on a subdomain, most likely you will need to replace the subdomain with 'staging.' If this does not direct you to your staging site, please contact WTS at webhelp@mso.umt.edu for confirmation of your staging URL. 

1. Select the folder from the asset tree that you will be reordering. 
2. The folder asset list appears in the workspace.
3. Reorder the assets by clicking the Order column until it displays in ascending order. 
4. Select an asset and use the Move to Top, Move Up, Move Down or Move to Bottom arrow icons above the list. You can also click and drag assets to move them up or down in the list. 
5. Publish the parent folder after reordering has been completed.

Tip: If folders or pages aren't visible in the navigation after reordering, they may be set to be excluded in navigation.

Once the site is published, go to the page you want to view in Cascade. Click on "More" then navigate to the "live" button.

• Page Title is used as the Heading 1 and browser tab title. Cap all major words, which means anything longer than three letters, all proper nouns and the final word of the headline – even if it is less than four letters long.
• Display name is used in the navigation. Cap all major words, which means anything longer than three letters, all proper nouns or the final word of the headline – even if it is less than four letters long.
• The Page Name, along with the placement folder(s) name is what makes up that part of the URL of an asset. New page names should be all lowercase with no spaces. Use hyphens to separate words to ensure that you don't see %20 in your URLs when the asset renders in a browser. 
  • Example: https://www.umt.edu/cascade-support/site-migration/default.php

An asset is any entity within the system that can be used to generate content. Content editors use the following assets:

• Page 
• Folder 
• File ( JPG, pdf, docs..etc.)
• External Link

• Each page should consist of only one H1 heading.
• Headers in Cascade should all follow the same pattern.
  • The main header should be H1. This is automatically added and is taken from the title of your page.
  • The next level of headers should be H2, and if there are subheaders to those headers they should be H3. Follow this pattern down to H6.
• Headings rarely go past H4 unless there is a large amount of data being displayed. If you find yourself using H5 or H6, consider breaking up your content into multiple pages.

If you want to link to an internal image, navigate to the image in Cascade by clicking in the Image Source field. If you are linking to an external image, paste the URL of that image into the Image Source field.
• If the image is decorative, check the Decorative checkbox.
• If the image is not decorative, fill in a short description of the image in the image description field. Please note this is legally required for accessibility purposes for all images in Cascade.
• Use the Dimensions field to alter the dimensions of the image, though we do recommend altering the dimensions of any image before inserting into Cascade as this will ensure that the image displays at the size and quality you want it to.
• You can set the Class field to pull-left or pull-right if you want to align the image to the left or right of the row or column.
